Coq au Vin de Beaujolais*

From Les Chefs de France, EPCOT®

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 pounds bone-in chicken parts (breasts, wings, drumsticks, thighs)
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 ½ ounces salt-pork fat
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 6 pearl onions, peeled
• 1/4 pound whole mushrooms, washed and stems trimmed
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• 1 750 ml-size bottle of Beaujolais wine
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried
• 2 sprigs fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried
• 2 dried bay leaves
• 1 to 1 ½ cups chicken stock

Directions

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; set aside.
2. Cut the pork fat into ½-inch cubes and place in a small skillet. Cover with cold water and bring to a simmer over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Drain and pat cubes dry with paper towels.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
4. In a large ovenproof pan, heat butter, pork fat and pearl onions over medium-high heat on the stovetop. When onions are golden brown, remove them and the pork fat with a slotted spoon; set aside.
5. In the same butter, cook the mushrooms over high heat until lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside with the onions.
6. Over high heat, sauté the chicken in the same pan about 3 minutes on each side, until brown. Sprinkle the chicken with flour and place uncovered in the oven for 5 minutes.
7. Remove chicken from the oven and reduce heat to 250°F. Add the garlic to the chicken and stir 1 minute. Return to stovetop, add wine, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add herbs, onions, pork fat and mushrooms. Add stock if necessary to cover the meat. Cover the pan and bake in oven for 1 ½ hours.
8. Remove from oven, place chicken in a serving dish, and strain sauce to remove vegetables. Discard fresh herbs; set aside. Taste sauce, adding salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a thicker sauce, return to stovetop over medium heat. Knead together 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon flour and stir into sauce, whisking for 4 to 5 minutes.
9. Serve the chicken, onions and mushrooms with the sauce and vegetables poured over it, accompanied with potatoes, rice or hot buttered noodles.
